Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 386803, member: 204"] The quotes above are a bit misleading. When you read the article it becomes clear that the "beaver" was a Pete Carroll idea/device. It was given to the player who apparently had the big hit of the game. (The article is not about Robinson but about how NFL players are motivated to make big hits.) And some of the players quoted in the article liked it. I recall that Scott Shaffer gave out a "bone" for big hits when he came to Syracuse University. I recall Derrell Smith winning the "bone" on many occasions. I presume that he still does that. I wouldn't put much stock in the whole thing without knowing more about it. [/QUOTE]
